Former Ohio State Linebacker Tommy Eichenberg Sees “Perfect Fit” With Las Vegas Raiders, GM Tom Telesco Says Eichenberg is “All Ball, All the Time”

There’s something symmetrical about the Silver and Black and Tommy Eichenberg’s playstyle.

No question has ever been raised about the former Ohio State linebacker’s toughness. This is someone who played through a dislocated elbow at the end of the Buckeyes’ season, who in 2022 became the first OSU defender in eight years to log at least 120 tackles in a season.

The Las Vegas Raiders brand is synonymous with physicality, dating back to the days of Pro Football Hall of Famers like Jim Otto, Ted Hendricks and Mike Haynes. That’s why Eichenberg’s answer was quick when asked if he could have picked a better fit to be drafted into.
